    What vehicle do you drive?

    We're talking about a racing series where the rule is the car can't cost over $500... Although now I wonder how big a hit Cash for Clunkers did for this whole sport.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Now it even has me shopping... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1021309083816205/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Accc62f3f-fa82-4115-b506-83739cd42aa4

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I could imagine with the number of us in Texas pulling together team wouldn't be hard... And give an excuse to have a car named "The Rickshaw"

    VisionQuest

    I believe the reason he could wield Mjolnir was the fact that he's not actually a living being, ergo the spell on the hammer couldn't judge him as worthy or not. Same reason Mjolnir left on an elevator could go up and down and not just slam the elevator to the first floor. With all the CGI...

    VisionQuest

    NGL, I enjoyed the trailer, and that is very probably a first for a Disney+ Marvel series. I also get the balance. He has to sort the shit in his head so he can sort the shit IRL. I can run with that. I've been a huge James Spader fan for a long time and it looks like they're shooting for an...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Yeah, I remember going in to see it knowing what I know. Versus Mrs Haus and a lot of our friends who went along who ... well... really didn't. I even tried to prep those who would get the reference with "Just know, this is going to be the "The Empire Strikes Back" of this series....but worse."

    Marvel Universe stuff

    As I mentioned a ways back... Magneto wasn't always a Holocaust survivor. THat was reconned into his character in the early 80's in the Christ Claremont era IIRC. That's incorrect. In his original incarnation (No religious/holocaust backstory) he was still a mutant supremacist, ran the...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    In my home lab I actually managed to get Qwen 3.8:27b running on a system with two nvidia cards and 20GB of video ram between them..... well... "running" might need to be in the air bunnies. The response speed on it was like talking to someone who was smart, but suffering from a somewhat...

    The Stock Trading and Shitposting thread.

    Yeah, my former company has had what I'd call one really lackluster year in the last 5, and I was also in the ESPP, but not through the 401k. My company didn't offer their ESPP as a 401K option. Instead they just did two buys a year at the lowest price from either the first or last day, then...

    The Stock Trading and Shitposting thread.

    Make no mistake... most of that is that company I recently left and their stock. Meaning it's mostly that as it was vesting and piling up I was lazy/hadn't thought about it until just recently, but then the company stock has just gone fucking nuts this year so I guess so far (assuming I get...

    The Stock Trading and Shitposting thread.

    @Cad threw a post over in, of all places, the middle east politics thread about how the market has been doing well, which made me do a quick "What's my performance YTD" Interesting highlights... Crypto -- Down almost 30%, harvested some losses, fuck ETH, moved everything to BTC to see if I...

    No penalties. I did it in the past, and since I just changed employers I'm about to do it again. There's a tiny bit of hassle, but if you're combining 401ks into the one at your current employer the the 401k provider usually offers assistance. (At my new gig they literally call it "Rollover...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    So, update on my little rant from Mid July (TLDR : I hit the burnout wall combined with organizational frustration with my employer, had to take PTO to try to recalibrate). Warning, I'm going to say some things that will definitely be "first world problems" here, so I apologize to any who are...
